Real-time market data
Monitor watched instruments through IG's live price feed without constantly refreshing charts.
Advanced analytics
Review candle context, indicators, performance, trade history and strategy behaviour in one place.
Strategy automation
Evaluate your selected rules on every incoming price update and act only when conditions are met.
Risk management
Apply position sizing, margin rules, daily-loss limits and open-position limits before orders are sent.
One workspace for testing, monitoring and execution.
From strategy research to live operation, each part of the workflow is connected so you can understand what the software is doing and why.
Pluggable, rule-based strategies
Each strategy evaluates incoming prices against rolling 5-minute candle context and returns a signal only when its defined conditions are satisfied.
Automatic sizing and trading limits
Position size is checked against account balance, instrument rules, margin usage, daily loss limits and the maximum number of open positions.
Test your logic on historical data
Replay historical market data through the same strategy logic used for live operation, then review win rate, drawdown, expectancy and balance changes.
See the market and the system together
Follow candles, indicators, open positions, live P/L and the status of each active strategy from one clear dashboard.
A permanent record of every decision
Search and filter trade opens, closes and rejected signals. Export your records to CSV for further review and analysis.
Validate the workflow before risking capital
Signals can still be generated, sized and journaled while order submission remains disabled—helping you observe the system before moving to live use.
From price update to journaled trade in five clear steps.
The workflow is transparent and sequential. A trade is not placed unless the strategy and risk checks both approve it.
A live tick arrives
IG sends a price update for an instrument being monitored.
The strategy evaluates
The incoming price is checked against the selected strategy and current candle context.
Risk rules are applied
The software checks size, margin, loss limits and existing positions.
The order is submitted
An approved signal can become a market order with the configured stop and limit.
The result is recorded
The signal, order and eventual close are stored in the trade journal.
Clear performance review
Understand the result, not just the final P/L.
Review performance through practical metrics such as trade count, win rate, average win, average loss, expectancy, maximum drawdown and the balance curve.- Compare strategies over a selected period
- Inspect individual trade records and exit reasons
- Export data for your own analysis
Simple answers before you get started.
